...have been very constructive,” he said. But Karim noted that at the University of Oregon, she began seeing messages with “Hey you” and “Yo” as the salutation, leading her to insert the gentle reminder in her syllabi. While she encourages students to meet with her and to ask “relevant questions” over e-mail, Karim expressed some concerns about the impact of e-mail on the professor-student relationship.

I don’t want Summers writing the syllabi for new Harvard courses, but I don’t want Professor Judith Ryan allotting space in Allston either.
